The Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission to immediately announce the outstanding results for the Kuje Area Council chairmanship election, expressing concerns over the delay in collation.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Ini Ememobong, said the delay in declaring results from two wards was generating apprehension.
“We are concerned that the results from two wards in Kuje Area Council are yet to be announced by INEC.
“This delay has raised apprehension because of the marginal lead that the Peoples Democratic Party has there, which we are aware is under the threat of being manipulated using security forces,” the statement read.
The PDP spokesperson urged the electoral commission to conclude the process without further delay.
“We call on the Chairman of INEC to immediately order the announcement of the results in Kuje Central and Kabi Wards, most of which have been posted on the IREV.
“Election results must remain a true reflection of the votes of the people; anything less invalidates the entire process. We should uphold the sanctity of the ballot,” Ememobong stated.
